Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures:
‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
this was the Lord’s doing,
and it is amazing in our eyes’?
Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces the fruits of the kingdom.
Who are the ones that we overlook
those we disrespect
deem unworthy
diminish
discount?
Where are those who,
with humility
are quietly getting on
with building
the Kingdom of God
while we’re still squabbling
over rank
and position
and status.
God forgive us.
Open our eyes
to see those places
and those people
in whom you are at work
and to take our place
alongside
so that we too may see
the fruits of the kingdom
and know again
the joy it is
to simply serve you.
